Good luck every time

Chapter 40 A fateful friendship

Li Ruyi looked at him across the fire. His rebirth came suddenly, and it was only a month ago. Li Ruyi had previously prepared for the burial of Sun and arranged for the division of the family and the establishment of a female household. He had just left the Li clan a few days ago.

Among these major events, there were also trivial matters such as buying medicine for Mrs. Sun and the family having no food or money to eat.

One thing after another left her no time to breathe, and she was actually not clear about the future.

She just didn't want to be controlled by others, but she couldn't explain clearly how to change the status quo.

The flames flickered, branches were burning inside, dust and smoke rose. Li Ruyi was silent for a moment before answering Han Shian.

"We need to find a way to sell this wolf first, and then make plans after we divide the money."

Han Shian was not as confused as Li Ruyi. He added a few branches to the fire.

"Will you always live with your master from now on?"

When Li Ruyi heard him ask this, she remembered something and asked him back.

"By the way, why are you here? You only have one day off every ten days, how are you going to get back to the academy tomorrow?"

Han Shian thought Li Ruyi was trying to change the subject, so he didn't bring up the previous question and just made up something.

"I have encountered difficulties in my studies recently and I can't figure it out, so I asked for a leave to rest for two days."

Li Ruyi had never studied and didn't know the ins and outs of it. At this time in her previous life, she was busy making a living and had no time to care about the trivial matters of whether Han Shian's studies were going well or not. Naturally, she didn't know the purpose of Han Shian's return this time.

Han Shian came back because she was worried that the Li family would cause trouble for her and wanted to help her resolve the situation.

However, Li Ruyi obviously did not need to do so and could handle it well on her own.

Seeing that she was in good condition, Han Shian felt relieved and naturally didn't say anything unnecessary.

Li Ruyi wouldn't know this, she was just simply curious now.

"Then how did you come to the mountains if you couldn't continue your studies?"

Han Shian was a little embarrassed.

"I heard about your leaving the tribe as soon as I entered the village, and I wanted to ask you about it."

"I didn't see you when I went to Li's house, so I walked around the village and saw your sister at the blind grandmother's place. She told me that you went into the mountains, so I wanted to go and take a look, so I came here."

"What happened today is my fault. If I hadn't attracted the wolf here, you wouldn't have been hurt."

Li Ruyi did not agree with his apology.

"Why do you say that? If you hadn't lured the wolf here, we wouldn't have had a chance to kill it! As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise, this is what it means!"

"With this wolf, I can relax a little and think about what I can do for a living in the future. What a good thing."

Her injuries were all superficial and although they would leave scars, she didn't care.

Compared to the scars left by living for one's own benefit, living one's entire life for the happiness of others and dying without leaving any mark of one's own on this world is truly sad and lamentable.

Han Shian laughed.

"Then I feel a little less guilty. By the way, how are you going to sell this wolf? Are you going to sell the skin separately or the whole wolf?"

If you sell it in parts, you can get more money, but if there is anything left, there will also be a risk of financial loss.

Selling the whole thing is convenient and easy.

This time, Li Ruyi did not choose the riskier option, but hoped to sell the whole thing.

"I hope to sell the whole thing, so I can get my money back faster. I need the money more. But here's a part of yours. If you don't want to deal with it this way, we can discuss it."

Han Shian doesn't care.

"Then sell the whole thing! But it's better not to make a big deal about it. Let's go down the mountain early tomorrow. I'll go to the county to find a buyer. You hide and wait for me to come back. I'll pick you up after dark. It's better not to let this wolf enter the village!"

Li Ruyi had the same idea.

She and Li Zhuzi had just separated and she left the Li family. If others knew that she was rich, there would be trouble for some time.

It's best to make a fortune quietly like this.

She also stayed quietly in the village for a while, learning sword skills from her master, and then went out after the storm had passed.

I don’t know if her master would feel disgusted with her if she knew that the first thing she attacked in her life was a wolf’s anus.

"Okay, thank you for your help then."

When Han Shian heard her say this, he chuckled.

"Why are you so polite? You and I are now life-and-death partners. We should be more familiar with each other than before."

The warm light of the campfire shone on Han Shian's face. He clearly looked disheveled, but his temperament and demeanor made people feel that it was not him who was disheveled, but the environment.

Memories from many years ago suddenly came to Li Ruyi's mind.

At that time, she climbed onto the dilapidated roof and was about to lean on the beam to bask in the sun. Han Shian followed her and also climbed up the broken ladder. As a result, the ladder broke and he almost fell down.

Li Ruyi had to use a lot of strength to grab his wrist.

Han Shian did not hesitate. He held Li Ruyi's wrist with his backhand, stepped on the broken adobe wall to reach the roof, and spoke to Li Ruyi as soon as he came up.

"I would like to thank Miss Li for saving my life. After what happened to us, we can be considered to have a life-long friendship..."

Li Ruyi smiled and shook his head. This person always liked to make friends, but it was a pity that he didn't get to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel back then.

Han Shian watched as a smile formed in her eyes, and then turned into nostalgia. For a moment he didn't know what to say.

Some memories were already blurry, and he had no idea what Li Ruyi was thinking about at the moment.

However, embarrassment ensued and he had no time to reminisce about the past. He could only hear Li Ruyi asking him.

"Someone released a wild duck into the trap I set up by the river. Did you do that?"

Han Shian: °.°·((((?-?))))·°.°

"What? What river? What wild ducks?"

Li Ru thought he was playing dumb and shook his head speechlessly.

"I don't know my level, and you are the only one who knows that I'm setting a trap there."

Han Shian lowered his head and wanted to refuse to admit it, but Li Ruyi continued to talk to herself.

"But I've already eaten the duck. When I get back I'll kill the rabbit and use the skin to make a scarf for you. Don't refuse."

Han Shian was not an expert hunter, so how could he catch so many live wild ducks?

Li Ruyi guessed that he also bought it from someone else.

But if he were to pay back the money, he would always feel that he was at a loss. After all, this was not Li Ruyi's own wish.

But if you don’t pay it back, that’s not the case.

Han Shian sighed and neither agreed nor disagreed.

"Oh, right! Since you two sisters have moved out, I think you may be short of things. I still have a lot of unused farm tools and carpentry tools left by my grandfather. If you can use them, go and look through them when no one is around."

The two of them were neither too old nor too young, but it was time for them to avoid suspicion. Han Shian couldn't give her anything openly, so it was just a little help that relatives and friends could give.

Li Ruyi's eyes lit up and asked him.

"Do you have a saw blade at home? I want to make something recently."

Han Shian recalled.

"should have!"

He said it with certainty, but he had other thoughts in his mind.

The saw blade at home has not been used for many years and has long been rusted. It is estimated that it is unusable. He plans to go to the blacksmith shop in the county town tomorrow to buy a new saw blade to replace it.
